US Soccer Referee Certification is an annual process.

If more than 5 years has lapsed between registrations please follow the steps below as well as email us at refereeregistration@calsouth.com for an additional test link. To make it clear, this page is intended as a quick resource page for all links. For full descriptions of all known requirements please refer to our Maintenance & Upgrade Requirements page here.

Step 1

Make your Annual US Soccer registration payment. Make sure to upload a current picture during this process.

Step 3 (For Legal Adults Only)

For those that have not already completed Risk Management for Cal South -

If you are 18 years old or older you will need to adhere to our KIDSAFE Risk Management Program. All legal adults must have their fingerprints cleared by the Department of Justice before they are allowed on the field with our youth. To complete this, you will need to download our live scan form which can be taken to any servicer. You can do a quick google search for "local live scan locations" and take your form to them. The cost will range anywhere from $15-$30. Keep your copy of the live scan form after the service is done until you have confirmation we have received your results. On average it takes from 1-14 days to receive results back from the Department of Justice. We will update your referee profile as soon as that clearance comes in.
